``Benchopt`` is a benchmarking suite tailored for machine learning workflows.
It is built for simplicity, transparency, and reproducibility.
It is implemented in Python but can run algorithms written in **many programming languages**.


So far, ``benchopt`` has been tested with `Python <https://www.python.org/>`_,
`R <https://www.r-project.org/>`_, `Julia <https://julialang.org/>`_
and `C/C++ <https://isocpp.org/>`_ (compiled binaries with a command line interface).
Programs available via `conda <https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/>`_ should be compatible as well.
See for instance an `example of usage <https://benchopt.github.io/stable/auto_examples/plot_run_benchmark_python_R.html>`_ with ``R``.


Install
-------

It is recommended to use ``benchopt`` within a ``conda`` environment to fully-benefit
from ``benchopt`` Command Line Interface (CLI).


To install ``benchopt``, start by creating a new ``conda`` environment and then activate it

.. code-block:: bash

    conda create -n benchopt python
    conda activate benchopt

Then run the following command to install the **latest release** of ``benchopt``

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install -U benchopt

It is also possible to use the **latest development version**. To do so, run instead

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install git+https://github.com/benchopt/benchopt.git


Getting started
---------------

After installing ``benchopt``, you can

- replicate/modify an existing benchmark
- create your own benchmark


Using an existing benchmark
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Replicating an existing benchmark is simple.
Here is how to do so for the `L2-logistic Regression benchmark <https://github.com/benchopt/benchmark_logreg_l2>`_.

1. Clone the benchmark repository and ``cd`` to it

.. code-block:: bash

   git clone https://github.com/benchopt/benchmark_logreg_l2
   cd benchmark_logreg_l2

2. Install the desired solvers automatically with ``benchopt``

.. code-block:: bash

   benchopt install . -s lightning -s sklearn

3. Run the benchmark to get the figure below

.. code-block:: bash

   benchopt run . --config ./example_config.yml

These steps illustrate how to reproduce the `L2-logistic Regression benchmark <https://github.com/benchopt/benchmark_logreg_l2>`_.
Find the complete list of the `Available benchmarks`_.
Also, refer to the `documentation <https://benchopt.github.io/>`_ to learn more about ``benchopt`` CLI and its features.
You can also easily extend this benchmark by adding a dataset, solver or metric.
Learn that and more in the `Benchmark workflow <https://benchopt.github.io/stable/benchmark_workflow/index.html>`_.


Creating a benchmark
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The section `Write a benchmark <https://benchopt.github.io/stable/benchmark_workflow/write_benchmark.html>`_ of the documentation provides a tutorial
for creating a benchmark. The ``benchopt`` community also maintains
a `template benchmark <https://github.com/benchopt/template_benchmark>`_ to quickly and easily start a new benchmark.


Finding help
------------

Join ``benchopt`` `discord server <https://discord.gg/EA2HGQb7nv>`_ and get in touch with the community!
Feel free to drop us a message to get help with running/constructing benchmarks
or (why not) discuss new features to be added and future development directions that ``benchopt`` should take.


Citing Benchopt
---------------

``Benchopt`` is a continuous effort to make reproducible and transparent ML and optimization benchmarks.
Join us in this endeavor! If you use ``benchopt`` in a scientific publication, please cite
